The Lights and Planets
orbit of the earth, is important, and tells us something.
Let's go over these planets briefly, getting a feel for
them.
Mars
Mars, the closest planet to Earth outside of Earth’s orbit,
shows us just that—how to get outside our self, how we
can reach out and take action. Mars is the planet of our
ambition and drive. Mars is what moves us. It is the
energy that keeps us moving, the energy pushing us
onward—but not in any particular direction. In fact, in
traditional astrology, Mars is considered a malefic
because it can blindly move us to act without thought or
direction, rashly, and we can get into real problems. We
take action through our Mars. Mars is our endless drive
to act, and this planet is also what moves us to find
meaning in our lives. As mentioned, Mars propels us
forward in life, but it is Jupiter setting the course we will
run.
